Why flagged

Downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from a CDN redirect URL (link.goodaccess.com) with SKIP'd checksum, making it unverifiable and trivially swappable; however the domain appears to be the official GoodAccess vendor infrastructure, which reduces but does not eliminate the risk.

Triggered rules

Medium source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
